Analysis of Always and Today

Liah Morgan 2008 (KY)



Years, Years,
Have gone by!

Days, Days.
Have passed!

Hear, Hear,
The people singing!

Feel, Feel,
The days go by too fast!

Change, Change,
The world they say!

Wait, Wait,
Nothing stays the same!

You'll see, see,
We are free!

Always and today!
